Yes I've seen it now and it is a much harsher and more real world tone it takes in the second half, but its much more about the hard times that happen in a real world long term relationship then need to be worked at to make things last. The most mature of the 3 films I guess.

Every time Ive seen one of these movies I was more or less the age of the main characters and have been through a lot of what they have and so I think their impact on me is quite deep.

SO I didnt know this was a third of a trilogy(so far) and I picked it up and watched it and WOW; just causes you to have a realist view on romance and how it ages. As I see from my parents and their friends it can be very similar to this. You have to work for Love and you have to be wise to know that. Very good movie

To me, Before Midnight tarnishes the earlier movies a bit the way Crystal Skull ruined the Indiana Jones series — an old "married" couple who I used to love, now fighting for 2/3rds of a movie (as enjoyable as hearing your parents fight as a kid). Sunrise (in VIENNA) was about young love, Sunset was about second chances and recapturing your youth, this one was about… clinging to the decaying ruins of love. Obligatory, and lacking magic, except for the gorgeous Greek scenery and a few thoughtful lines.

I didn't know it was part of a trilogy, so i didnt see the first 2. I found the long takes impressive but this is the only thing that I found cool about it. It was so boring. I kept skipping hoping it gets better but it didn't. I didn't see the romance at all. The conversations were not interesting. I mean I could come up with deeper conversations with my 15 year old cousin. Well this is what I thought from the bits I saw which didn't bore me to death.. (so about a total of 30 min)

This was a torturous movie. After two decades I finally get to see them together, and they had to make it with disturbing Woody Allen undertones. It was icky, uncomfortable, and downright boring. They made these two characters completely unlikable and trashy. By the end of this movie I could give two rats ass if they stayed together. I never want to see either one of them again. They just grew up to become nagging, sleazy, cheating assholes.

every time I watch these small budget independent type movies, I search youtube for a review of it and I always see Chris's videos.thank you so much for making these videos, appreciating art and high quality films.

Best talking movie I have seen since TheBig Chill.Not my usual cup of tea, but it was amazing. As good as the dialogue in the first 2/3 was, the argument at the end should have been the whole film. It was that good.That woman REALLY hates men, though. Almost a stereotype in that regard.

Sure it's unique as in it gives a very realistic description of marriage between two normal regular people but in the end it's just people bickering over shit. I don't want to see that. First two were so much better, didn't enjoy Midnight half as much.

I love how people complain about how this movie presents the couple in a bickering marriage rather than a strong romance. Guys, that's how marriage turns out for a bunch of couples. The movie stayed true to the trilogy's realistic tone. Before Midnight is my favorite of the three.
